Thinking of buying a galaxy note but have a few questions

I'm getting a really good deal on a note. I wanted to know wether the features from note2 have been ported to the orignal note, specially multiscreen. Does the note have enough processing power to run it smoothly?
My friend is on stock ICS and his phone is quite laggy even without too many apps. I did hear the ICS upgrade sucked but I didn't expect this. I wanted to know wether the installing custom ROMs would make the s pen useless?
M considering either note or galaxy nexus... plz help me make this choice!
Thanks

1) Multiscreen is not yet ported from Note 2 to the original Note..
2) I have 100+ apps installed on my Note & I wouldn't say its laggy..
3) ICS upgrade wasn't a flop..it came with lot of features, improved performance, battery life etc etc etc..anyways, within a month or 2, our Notes wl taste official JB..there are already couple of ROMs which were cooked from leaked samsung official kernel & seems to work as expected..
4) Installing custom roms need not to make the S-pen useless..but there r very few custom roms which does not support s pen..

Check out this thread it got some promising stuff about new note 1 JB rom 98% of things work properly
Cheers

If you are thinking on buying the note , go for the second one .
We had no option back when we bought note , but now you can just go for note 2

248 Google play installed apps and a few more from XDA.
Still smooth on stock ICS ROM with hydracore kernel.
But like the other posters, better to just get the new note since you have yet to invest.

Galaxy note prooved to be a success. Initially it was expected to fail hut if u see it as a device released in 2011. It was designed futuristic. It got 3 updates on gingerbread , 2 updates for ics and now will get jelly beans soon and some are saying it will receive key lime pie. Even if the key lime pie update is not official the note gave a good outcome to those of us who owned it from the initial days. I am still ao much in love with my device and i love the s pen. It took out the artist from within me.

I know it was a good choice when it was launched but is buying it now when note2 is already out... is that a good choice... its not like a play too many games...all that matters to me is battery life and UI smoothness...

Galaxy note is more like a mini tab, note 2 more like a maxi phone as they have different aspect ratio. 16/10 vs 16/9. For multiscreen ot will be ported on Note1 also, I guess, by xda developers. Don't know if it will arrive officially by Sammy

its not important if you just use it for playing games.

For the features and specs, note is really neat if you use a custom rom.. custom roms could boost the speed..
And yes, i have a note.. but its quite laggy when i bought it

Unfortunately I live in WB and they doesnt ship to WB and some other states due to Govt Duty reason.
There lowest price is 11,500 INR without warranty (seller warranty is not a warranty).

It's Better to buy Xperia Sola.
Also Xperia U is nice but you can't install HD games because of 4gb memory limitation.

Oh boy! No HTC please, they are a bunch of liars. They don't give updates and their customer service people are nutshells. Get a Samsung. Or get a nexus 7 with 3g. We in salsa forum are fighting with HTC. I made a mistake but you don't.

I have an X8 and my brother brought the U. I really think it's a great choice! It's not a high-end device but all of the apps that he installed work great!

Any feedback

i worked with S4 and read lots of review and ...
and i have xz (cause i bought it before S4)
of course S4 is so fast but lots of people report lags as always in samsung smartphones but in launcher level u can use another launcher so it s not matter
S4 has so good camera quality (better optimization than x Z so far)
u can watch youtube about drop tests > S4 will break easily ! But X Z has more durability and of course IP57
but about screen quality
X Z has very good quality (at least in my experience since first firmware till now) and i compared it with noteII, S3 and S4 > X Z has brighter screen
performance of X Z is awesome and i don't see any delay to load home screen after playing FHD 3D games but samsung has lag even on Octa-cores (i don't understand WHY !?)
about design;
X Z has its special design called omni-balance as u know and another special thing for durability
S4 is lite and with 5" it s really comfortable (maybe this design caused to break and crack easily!)
that was my experiences about both device (however u know S4 part )
:good:

I'm happy that I got the Z and I came from S4. Only 2nd day though. The camera lag on the S4 annoyed me. Pictures with the Z snap instantly. Will say more in a few days.

I read it a few times and nope. The Sony Z might have lags elsewhere but the camera has no lag the S4 does.

The only time the camera lags is in the first time u lunch it afterwards it has no lag. Xperia Z.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

The s4 is easier to hold in one hand and also for one hand operations as u may know..whereas the xz has an amazing design and feel..the recent 4.2.2 update improved many things but some minor lags are present in the ui,which we all know will be fixed soon....I would choose the xz forever..

Helllo, I have a xperia Z1 (unused) should I change it for a nexus 5? Is it really worth it (the Z1)?

Nexus 5 - camera sucks, battery sucks

Well not for me, it depends on your preference.
LG G2 design and quality is better than S4 I came from S4 to G2 before owning Z1. I really like the way LG designed G2, from buttons, bezel, screen size and curve sides, the only downside for me is the lack of sd slot.

I have owned a Galaxy nexus and a nexus 4, the Z1 is very nice, the only thing I really hate is the bloatware, and the slow OS updates (still in 4.2.2), but the Z1 looks great, other than that I really like the phone. The nexus 5, well is a nexus.

When you power on the SW it connects automatically if the bluetooth on the phone is already switched on! It lasts 3-4 days with normal use

I'm thinking of going to sw2 though.. And the post above me is true. I have no problem with it in terms with battery and connectivity

I just bought SW2! It's perfect! So much better than the SW1

Now my xperia z just updated to 4.3 is it still suitable and good for sw1? Because sme says aftr updted to 4.3 it have too much issues....
